This review is from: Handel: Floridante (Audio CD)

It has been only 2 days since I got my hands on this opera, and I have already listened to it three times through. It is haunting, intoxicating, sumptuous, and profound. I would dare anyone not to fall in love with this music, for I cannot imagine how a spirit could be so dull as to remain immune to its beauty.
